Used video games in Townsville typically sell for A$10 to A$77 (about $7 to $54). Individual games sell slowly and bundles sell fast, so decide early which of yours is worth listing alone and group the rest.
Selling video games in Townsville
Townsville is the largest city in the tropical north and it runs on three things: the army garrison, the university and the port. It also sits in the cyclone belt, so people here think about how things are stored in a way that inland cities never have to.
Military postings move whole households in and out on a two to three year cycle, and the university adds its own arrivals and departures each year. Between them the supply of good, barely-used household goods is more reliable here than the population would suggest.
Almost everyone drives, and the city is flat and spread out, so collection is straightforward as long as you agree the suburb. In the wet season a downpour can close a road at short notice, so it is worth agreeing what happens if the weather turns rather than assuming.
Ask whether the item came through a cyclone season in a shed or a carport. Wind-driven rain gets into places ordinary rain never reaches, and the damage shows up months later in motors and electronics.
Handing it over in Townsville
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Cheap to post but heavier than expected in quantity, so weigh a bundle before quoting postage. Pack cases so they cannot crack against each other.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
